The short version
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing reported a problem with the air bags frontal. Here is what owners need to know.
Due to electrical noise, a component in the air bag control module may fail, causing the front air bags, side air bags, and/or seatbelt pretensioners to deploy inadvertently while the vehicle is being operated.
Inadvertent deployment of the air bags or the seat belt pretensioners increases the risk of an injury or crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the air bag control module, free of charge.
